LIM 03 4 - 1 Redbull (367383121)

Dark skies made the crowd of 21841 at El Cascarón a little nervous, but the rain held off. Akis Antartis was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Thije Wolleswinkel and Micha Eilvese. LIM 03 tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Salas - Galeote, Machado, Malatesta - Brito, Mazo López, Aymerich, Limański, Negri - Rada, Pereramon.

Redbull started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. They fielded: Dulce - Guelfo, Kucelin, Pant - Arce, Cabeleira, Sanches, Madrón - Butcher, Welver, Livnat.

10 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for LIM 03 to take the lead after a good cross from the right found H. Rada alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. Redbull's B. Sanches had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 20 minutes having been played. C. Fernández Peñaranda was the replacement. Some great play up the middle by LIM 03 led to a chance for W. Limański to score after 21 minutes, but the shot hit the crossbar. A well placed corner kick from J. Brito was followed by J. Galeote's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for LIM 03, the score now 1 - 0. J. Brito almost put LIM 03 ahead another goal when he curled a free kick over the defensive wall and almost into the net, but the visitors' keeper got there just in time to knock it wide. 1 - 0 was the score after the first half. LIM 03 enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 69 percent of possession.

After 58 minutes, Redbull raised their score by one when A. Madrón's dangerous low cross was cleverly tucked in at the near post by G. Livnat. 1 - 1. LIM 03 took the lead 60 minutes into the game by 2 - 1, as E. Machado elegantly received a long range pass through the middle, finishing off with a half-volley shot just below the bar. With 65 minutes played, G. Negri of LIM 03 fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. A great save by keeper A. Dulce after 66 minutes kept the visitors in the game after G. Pereramon struck from the left with a real cannonball. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in LIM 03's D. Malatesta increasing the lead to 3 - 1. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased the lead of LIM 03 to 4 - 1 as W. Limański finished it off competently, firing in from an acute angle. With 70 minutes played, the Redbull coach decided a substitution may help turn the game around. A. Guimera came on, R. Butcher had to leave the fray. Redbull needed a fresh pair of legs on the field, and after 77 minutes A. Madrón made way for J. Pareja. LIM 03 claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 71 percent.

LIM 03's top performer was clearly R. Mazo López. On the other hand, J. Galeote's play was disheartening. The most dominating Redbull player was without a doubt G. Livnat. However, C. Fernández Peñaranda made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 4 - 1.
